Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

We're off to the Rust de WInter 4x4 Jamboree on Friday and tonight I noticed something that concerns me on the Patrol.

I always assumed it being a Patrol there would be decent recovery points but being preoccupied getting a list of issues to sort out I missed the obvious. This evening I removed the nudge bar because I don't see the point and realised where the nudge bar was affixed does not look strong enough for more than a tow. The metal seems more suited to a tie down point. On my Hardbody this tie down seems more substantial. On a forum mention is made of a tow hook on the chassis on the drivers side, but for the life of me I cannot find it.

If the Patrol does not come standard with decent recovery points, where can I source or have installed on short notice close to Centurion or Midrand?

The Patrol should have a standard recovery point. Maybe somebody removed it.

Get a new one from Nissan, as there is nothing available aftermarket that is in the same league.

Last time it was like 500 buks from nissan

I paid R765 for one, from Nissan dealership in Nelspruit about 3 years ago. At that stage some of the other dealerships where selling them for R680.
Not sure what they cost these days...

Dang and blast. It seems the Nissan branches don't keep it in stock. If I order it it will take two days to arrive, just a little bit longer than I have.

Maybe someone can borrow you one for the weekend... plenty of patrols in centurian.
Praat met Michael, miskien het hy n spaar een....

Thank you Fanus, a fine suggestion. If possible I'd prefer to not risk someone else's equipment but if I can't fit my recovery points tonight I'll definitely consider calling for help.

I managed to source a set of recovery points from the new 4x4 Megaworld in Centurion. If I can fit them tonight I should be sorted.

Paul send pics or come borrow mine nissan one is the way to go ....

Here it is.
If you think the Nissan one is the way to go, perhaps I should make a stop at your place. I can always use these ones at the back. I need an extra spot in the rear to attach the other competitors.

Daai recovery punte lyk blerrie smart, was hulle duur?
